As a RN in the NICU, I work with lots of mothers who end up pumping for a long time when their baby is born premature. There are some neat tricks and products out there that mothers use to make this a bearable task. One is a hands-free bra that has slits in the cup to hold the pumping flanges so that your hands are free to pick up the phone, a remote control, or type on the computer while pumping. Does anyone else out there have any tricks/tips for moms who have a long term relationship with their pump? :) -- Julie, StrongMoms Facilitator
i love the hands free bra, but yeah if any other moms out there have any other trick let us know! long term pumper here!
DaMonstasMom - how is the pumping going for you? How old is your little one? :-)
ohhh the pumping is going, it was painful the first couple of weeks but we got it down now. i am on set schedule, the only thing is getting the amount up. the pump is not as good as babies mouth....
**i finally got him to latch but he only does it sometimes, so i will keep pumping!**
He is 6 weeks old!
Good job sticking with it in the first few weeks - kudos to you!! You're right - getting the supply up is the hard part but sounds like you've got a system worked out. I hope your little latches more easily for you but he's getting your milk regardless, which is great!
Good job hanging in there with the pumping and feeding. It sounds like you are doing a great job!! I love your price pic, that is adorable! :)
One thing that helped me alot was learning that you did not have to watch the pump parts after every pumping session. Once a day was enough. Just put the parts into a container and put the in the fridge.
I admire all of you long term pumpers. Pumping was hard for me because I never got enough milk out for the pump. Congrats to those of you who haven't given up!
Smathis - GREAT tip. I do that when I'm at work - I just stick all my pump parts in a bag in the fridge and wash it all at night when I get home. It really does save a lot of time and effort. Thanks for sharing that!!
I've been an exclusive pumper since I brought DS home from the hospital. He had issues with latching due to him clicking/sucking on his tongue. To this very day he still does it, even with a bottle. I saw three different lactation consultants because I really wanted to keep trying to breast feed him. Sadly, it just didn't work and the frustration we both had was enough for us. He was also jaundiced so he had to get his milk to ensure his health. I pumped day and night like clockwork. My DS is almost 4 months. I had two hands-free bras so I could rotate them when the other was being washed. I also would pump right after a hot shower to get the most amount of milk out. A trick I would do is to use the hands-free bra and pump while I was getting ready for work. I should put exclusive pumping on my resume because I swear it's like a whole other job!
Stephanie - GOOD TIPS!! Wow, you've worked super hard at this. I give you serious props for the effort you've put into pumping. Your little man is getting your breast milk one way or another and that's a big deal. :-) I love all your little tricks - I have friends who have used pumping bras and felt it didn't fit right. What brand of pumping bra do you have? There are so many out there!!
I second Julie, Stephanie you are one awesome mom! -Jess
Wasnt aware you could do that. Just to be super sure I understand this correctly, I can reuse the pumping parts without washing as long as I can stick them ina refrigerator?
I have just gone back to work and pumping sessions have been long and washing the parts adds to this time and have started to get owrried about how much time I am gone and guess too much worrying is only going to adversely impact my supply.
Appreciate any other tips for back-to-work mommies to ensure supply wont go down.
Thanks much!
I hate admitting this but I find my manual hand pump works faster and gets more out than the electric pump. Although its a workout and probably causing arthritis in my hands lol it really does the trick.
tpkMOM-yup! If your pump parts are in the refrigerator, they aren't growing bacteria, etc. I usually just run water over the parts and put them in a thermos bag in the refrigerator at work. When I'm ready to pump, I hook it up and do the same thing all over again. Once home in the evening, I give them a good scrubbing with hot soapy water. :-) Nice little time saver, huh?

Recurrent Breast Cancer Risk Raised by Smoking, Drinking
Breast-cancer survivors have a 120-percent greater risk of suffering a second breast cancer if they continue to smoke, while daily drinkers face a 90-percent increase in risk of cancer returning, according to researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Sept. 8 that obesity also raises the risk of a second incidence of breast cancer by 50 percent. "Many of the risk factors for breast cancer are not modifiable, such as family history of the disease or pregnancy history, but here we find that three potentially modifiable risk factors influence risk of second breast cancer," said researcher Christopher Li.
Smoking is not normally associated with breast cancer, "so it is somewhat surprising that we found it to be so strongly related to the risk of a second breast cancer," noted Li.
Overall, women who have had breast cancer are two to six times more likely to have a second cancer than other women.
The study was published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

When it comes to life expectancy, baby boomers sentiments might best be captured in the song lyric from Fame: "I want to live forever."
Of course, we don't actually want to live forever (particularly after what we have done to these bodies), but now that we are closing in on average life span we wouldn't mind time being a little more on our side.
Right now average checkout is 76 years of age for a man, and 81 years for a woman. Personally, this disparity has never seemed fair to me, although I guess it does give a guy more dating options later in life, particularly if he's into cougars.
Anyway, the confirmed oldest person to date was a French woman who lived to be 122 and attributed her longevity to chocolate and wine. While it would be nice if chocolate and wine were the key to a long life (and one worth living, I might add) our chances of extending the deadline rests more in scientific and medical advances.
And on that front, the news about death is cheery.
As detailed in a recent Chicago Tribune story, there are scientific and medical advances on the horizon that could increase life spans significantly in the United States.
Some of the things researchers are predicting include:
The number of people with a 100-candle bonfire on their birthday cake will rise sixfold in the next 40 years to 601,000.
Half the babies born after 2000 will live to be at least 100.
The first people to reach 150 years of age are alive at this moment. (Wondering who the rest of you are?)
While the curing of cancer and heart disease will increase life expectancy, the key to living longer with a better quality of life resides in slowing down or reversing the aging process itself.
One college researcher quoted in the Tribune article believes that within the next decade there will be a pill capable of decelerating the aging process by about seven years, meaning a 60-year-old would have the health profile of a 53-year-old.
I don't know about you, but I'm already wondering what would happen if you took two of these pills and washed them down with a box of chocolates and a nice bottle of wine.
Maybe we would want to live forever.

State and federal charges against bombing suspect
BOSTON (AP) — Authorities say Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev faces a 15-count state indictment related to the death of a police officer and a police shootout.
That's in addition to a 30-count federal indictment returned by a federal grand jury Thursday.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and state officials said at a news conference that they're thinking of the three people killed and 260 people injured when two bombs exploded April 15 near the finish line.
Authorities say the suspects later shot Massachusetts Institute of Technology officer Sean Collier in his cruiser and tried to steal his gun.
Tsarnaev was indicted Thursday on federal charges for which he could get the death penalty. His attorney has declined to comment.
His brother was killed in the shootout with police April 19.
Questions raised about Miranda-less interrogation of Boston bombing suspect
BOSTON (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union and the public defender's office have raised concerns about investigators' plans to interrogate the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect without reading him his Miranda rights.
The Massachusetts Federal Public Defender's office says it will take the case of 19-year-old bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv). Public defender Miriam Conrad says there are "serious issues" regarding the interrogation.
ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero says the legal exception applies only when there is a continued threat and is not open-ended.
It's not clear when Tsarnaev will be able to answer questions. He's hospitalized in serious condition and under heavy guard after being arrested Friday night following a daylong manhunt punctuated by gunfire.
UPDATE: Police: MIT suspect tied to Boston marathon bomb
WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) - Police say one of two suspects in the shooting of an MIT police officer is dead and a massive manhunt is underway for another, who is tied to the Boston Marathon bombing.
Shortly after the MIT officer was shot Thursday night, police got a report of a carjacking in Cambridge, just outside Boston.
Police say of the at-large suspect, "We believe this to be a terrorist."
The FBI is investigating whether the fatal shooting of a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and gunfire and explosions in a nearby town are related to the Boston Marathon bombings.
A Massachusetts State Police spokesman said early Friday that one person suspected in the gunfire and explosions has been accounted for and one is at large.
The FBI said it is working with local authorities to determine what happened.
The MIT shooting on the Cambridge campus Thursday night was followed by reports of violence in nearby Watertown, about 10 miles west of Boston.
State police spokesman David Procopio said there is a "strong possibility" the incidents are related.
The MIT officer had been responding to report of a disturbance Thursday night when he was shot multiple times, according to a statement from the Middlesex district attorney's office and Cambridge police. It said there were no other victims.
In Watertown, witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and explosions at about 1 a.m. Friday. Dozens of police officers and FBI agents were in the neighborhood and a helicopter circled overhead.
State police spokesman David Procopio said, "The incident in Watertown did involve what we believe to be explosive devices possibly, potentially, being used against the police officers."
Boston cab driver Imran Sais said he was standing on a street corner at a police barricade across from a diner when he heard an explosion.
"I heard a loud boom and then a rapid succession of pop, pop, pop," he said. "It sounded like automatic weapons. And then I heard the second explosion."
He said he could smell something burning and advanced to check it out but area residents at their windows yelled at him, "Hey, it's gunfire! Don't go that way!"
MIT said right after the 10:30 p.m. shooting that police were sweeping the campus in Cambridge and urged people to remain indoors. They urged people urged to stay away from the Stata Building, a mixed-use building with faculty offices, classrooms and a common area.
Hours later, MIT, which has about 11,000 students, said the campus was clear but the shooter was still on the loose.
UPDATE: A Child among the 3 dead in Boston Marathon terror attack
BOSTON (ABC) - The death toll in the Boston Marathon bombings has increased to three people, according to the Boston Police commissioner.
Among the dead was an 8-year-old boy, law enforcement sources told ABC News. The Boston Globe identifies the dead child as Martin Richard.
"This cowardly act will not be taken within stride," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said this evening. "We will turn every rock over to find the people who are responsible for this."
At least 133 people were injured, including several children with severe trauma, when bombs exploded almost simultaneously near the marathon finish line, police said.
Doctors at two Massachusetts hospitals said some of the victims underwent amputations and were suffering from burns, while others had sustained injuries from shrapnel to their lower extremities.
"Everything we saw was ordinary material that could have been propelled by the device," said Dr. Ron Walls, chair of emergency medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
FBI Taking Charge of Investigation
The FBI has taken the lead in the investigation and at a news conference tonight said there are no suspects in custody.
Despite reports of law enforcement officials questioning a potential person of interest at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where many of the injured were taken, Davis urged caution.
"There's no suspect at Brigham and Women's Hospital," Davis said. "There are people we are talking to, but no suspect."
ABC News can confirm that one of the people law enforcement officials are talking to is a 20-year-old Saudi national at a Boston hospital. Sources tell ABC News that he is here legally on a student visa and that his visa is clean with no apparent criminal history.
Boston police tonight, at a news conference, said that there are people they are talking to, but no suspects.
Two bombs exploded near the race finish line on Boylston Street shortly before 3 p.m. The area was crowded with runners and spectators, and thousands of runners were still completing the race.
Davis declined to say whether he thought the devices were acts of terrorism, but said, "You can reach your own conclusion based on what happened."
According to law enforcement sources, the first bomb exploded at the Marathon Sports running store and blew out windows in four nearby buildings, injuring 15 to 20 individuals. The second blast occurred about 50 to 100 yards away, severely injuring more bystanders, Davis said.
The working theory about the bombs among Massachusetts law enforcement is that they were small, crudely made devices hidden in bags or backpacks, planted either during the race or immediately prior and detonated remotely, possibly with a cellphone. Officials have subpoenaed cellphone records.
More than 400 National Guardsmen in attendance at the marathon helped secure a perimeter around the scene.
One witness described the scene as being like a "war zone," while a doctor who was standing nearby said he immediately started treating people with severe leg injuries.
"Six or so people went down right away on my left, mostly with leg injuries. One gentleman had both legs below the knee blown off," Dr. Allan Panter, a physician who witnessed the event, told ABC News. "One girl I treated, I could not find any obvious injury to her torso, but she arrested. She was between 24 and 30.
"The people had singed facial hair and stuff. Most of the injuries were on their legs," Panter said. "I was 20 feet away, one storefront down. My ears were ringing. Everything blew out from the storefront."
Police initially said a third explosion occurred at John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, but later said it was related to a fire. No one was injured at the library, police said.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction over the area of the explosion.
Police were asking for all video footage of the finish line at the time of the explosion.
An emergency room doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital told ABC News that the hospital had performed several amputations, particularly on victims whose legs were injured. Many of the victims were runners still wearing numbers on their shirts, the doctor said.
He described the injuries as "shrapnel-type wounds" possibly caused by "pipe bombs," though police have not confirmed that description.
Earlier, a trauma nurse from Massachusetts General Hospital told ABC News that medical workers had set up a temporary morgue at a medical tent at the road race and were treating patients with severed limbs and children with severe burns.
In the immediate aftermath of the explosions, Boston EMS personnel could be seen shuttling the injured out of the blast area on wheelchairs. Several of the victims were bleeding from the face.
A doctor who was in the medical tent about 150 yards away from the explosion said it looked like a "war zone," with "lots of blood," and said that all physicians were told to go to the scene and help the injured.
Boston police set off a third explosion before 4 p.m. and were sweeping the area, checking dozens of bags left behind by runners who evacuated the area after the explosions. Officials also tested for chemicals to help determine what kind of device was used, according to police.
Attorney General Eric Holder was in touch with the FBI in Boston and President Obama was notified of the blasts. All of Boston's police force was ordered to report to duty.
Security precautions were taken elsewhere beyond Boston. In Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House was closed to pedestrians and there was heightened security.
In Boston, police told people in area of the blasts to avoid trash cans, according to witnesses.
The explosions erupted on what is usually a festive day in Boston. It is designated Patriots Day and most offices are closed for the celebration and the marathon.
Debris from the explosions could be seen scattered throughout the spectators' stands and finish line area of the marathon as emergency personnel cleared the area.
Video of the explosions showed plumes of white smoke pouring into the air above the street where runners were.
More than 26,00 runners were registered to compete in this year's marathon. The marathon clock was at shortly after four hours at the time of the explosions, which is the average time it takes runners to complete the Boston race, potentially putting the greatest number of competitors at risk.
Gov. Quinn reaches out to IEMA after Boston Marathon attack
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says he has reached out to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency after explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed two and injured many others.
He says nothing suggests there any connections to Illinois or Chicago. But the Chicago Democrat says Illinois must be on the alert.
Quinn characterized the explosions as "a potential terrorist incident" but said more facts need to come out.
Federal officials say two bombs exploded near the finish line of the marathon on Monday. Two people died and.
Quinn says he has directed all state public safety agencies, including Illinois State Police, Illinois Department of Military Affairs and the State Fire Marshal to be ready to assist and remain vigilant. He also asks Illinoisans to report anything suspicious.
Bin Laden spokesman pleads not guilty to plot
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith entered the plea through a lawyer to one count of conspiracy to kill Americans in federal court in New York on Friday.
Prosecutors say Abu Ghaith praised the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and warned there would be more.
Abu Ghaith was born in Kuwait. Authorities say he was captured in Jordan over the last week.
President Barack Obama's administration has sought to charge senior al-Qaida suspects in American federal courts instead of military tribunals, but Republicans in Congress don't want high-threat terror suspects brought into the United States.

Foc.us: The first commercial tDCS headset that lets you safely overclock your brain July 30, 2013 at 8:17 am
After an interminably long wait, the first brain-boosting tDCS headset has finally received FCC approval and will begin shipping in the next few days. Dubbed the Foc.us, the headset jolts your prefrontal cortex with electricity, improving your focus, reaction time, and ability to learn new skills. The Foc.us is being targeted at gamers looking to improve their skillz, but tDCS has the potential to improve — or more accurately to overclock — almost every aspect of your life.
What is transhumanism, or, what does it mean to be human? April 1, 2013 at 1:25 pm
What does it mean to be human? Biology has a simple answer: If your DNA is consistent with Homo sapiens, you are human — but we all know that humanity is a lot more complex and nuanced than that, especially when you mix in the concept of transhumanism.
Don't try this at home: Researchers use tDCS to release your brain's strongest opioid painkillers January 2, 2013 at 3:22 pm
A team of international researchers headed up by the University of Michigan has used noninvasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to release endogenous opioids — the human body's most powerful, euphoria-inducing painkillers that are very similar to opiates such as morphine. This approach is significant because releasing these opioids is as simple as strapping a couple of damp sponges to your scalp and attaching a 9-volt battery.
Curing depression and super-charging cranial capacity with deep brain stimulation October 12, 2012 at 10:56 am
Last year, we wrote about a technology called tDCS — transcranial direct current stimulation — that improves your mental acuity by passing a small electrical current through your brain. Now we're here to talk about its bigger brother, deep brain stimulation (DBS).

On the corner of Division and Dearborn, the shadows creep up the fronts of buildings as a neighborhood changes its skin.
The moms pushing the strollers head for home. The old ladies in puffy coats walk their little white dogs back to their condos for a night of TV.
Then testosterone rules the street. The Division Street bars get full and loud. Girls in long boots, boys on the hunt, in packs with their necks on swivels. Drama, hormones, mating rituals, alcohol. Party time in Chicago.
As it was on April 25, 2004, about two months after a little guy named David Koschman turned 21. It was one of his first legal nights in the bars, and it was his last.
On Friday, standing on the sidewalk where he fell eight years ago, I had my notepad out, looking for video surveillance cameras outside the bars, wondering if those cameras picked up anything from that night, wondering if the grand jury investigating Koschman's death will bring him justice any time soon.
Just then a young guy came up and introduced himself to me. Jon Cox, a health systems analyst, told me he reads the column every day and listens to the radio show. Koschman would have been about that age if he'd lived.
He gestured at my pen and pad and asked what I was working on. I told him about a young guy who'd been out drinking and was confronted by a group. He was punched in the head, perhaps from behind or from the side, and he fell, cracking his skull on the sidewalk to die days later without ever regaining consciousness.
I told him a special Cook County grand jury was investigating and that I was there on the corner where it happened to think things out.
"This is the one about the mayor's nephew, right?" Cox said, meaning the last mayor, Richard M. Daley. "It's that story about the young guy and his friends and the fight. It happened right here."
Koschman stood 5 foot 5 inches tall, weighed no more than 125 pounds and was standing with a group of his friends early that morning, trying to hail a cab. They were confronted by another group that included Daley's nephew Richard "R.J." Vanecko.
Vanecko, now 38, stood 6 foot 3 and was much heavier, with a weightlifter's build. Police said Vanecko threw a punch. He outweighed Koschman by almost 100 pounds of muscle.
Witnesses couldn't remember what they saw. Stories were changed. Some of the cops and prosecutors seemed indifferent.
You don't have to act to kill an investigation. Passivity can kill an investigation just as well. If no one lifts a finger, there are no political fingerprints.
Eleven days later, life support was withdrawn and Koschman died.
Two detectives assigned to the case took off on vacation. Witnesses weren't interviewed or weren't pressed on their conflicting or questionable stories. Cook County State's Attorney Dick Devine didn't file charges.
Last April, Cook County Judge Michael P. Toomin called for a special prosecutor. He reasoned that the cops and the state's attorney's office had bungled the Koschman case. He didn't have to say why. We knew why.
"This is not a whodunit. We know who did it," the Tribune quoted Judge Toomin as saying in April, making a clear reference to Vanecko. "We have a known offender and yet no charges."
Just imagine that your child was killed after a punch from the king's nephew, and the cops and prosecutors shrug and tell you there was nothing they could do. Common sense tells you that if a Daley were a victim, the entire establishment would have jumped to action.
But Koschman didn't have clout. He was a young man, a boy really, and he was dead, and his mother, a widow, was alone.
"My world ended," Nanci Koschman told us months ago. "And I held him in my arms until he died. … It's sad to think that just because of who hit who, it wasn't handled right."
On Thursday, the Tribune's Jason Meisner reported that the special prosecutor on the case, former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb, could wrap up his work as early as this week.
When Webb was appointed, I was disappointed. Webb is the defense attorney of choice now for the well connected, from Combine boss Bill Cellini to former Gov. George Ryan and, currently, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. I figured he'd grind up a few cops and low-level assistant state's attorneys and let it sit.
But sources tell me that I'm wrong, that Webb has pursued the bungled investigation and the death with the intensity he once brought to federal prosecutions. This has to be put right. There must be an accounting.
"Koschman did what every guy wants to do when he turns 21," said Cox, the young guy on Division Street with me Friday. "Go out with your friends, hit the bars, have fun, and he did it right, not driving but calling a cab. And then he was punched right here."
Right where we stood. With the sunlight changing from white to bleach yellow, shadows crawling up the face of the city, out on Division Street, the weekend about to begin.

Sheila Bair, former chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and a noted figure in the federal government's efforts to rescue several major banks during the 2008 economic crisis, will discuss her ongoing analysis and critique of the nation's fiscal woes as the University of Baltimore's Merrick School of Business Speaker Series continues on Thursday, Sept. 19. Bair, author of the book Bull by the Horns: Fighting to Save Main Street from Wall Street and Wall Street from Itself, will speak in the Wright Theater in UB's Student Center, 21 W. Mt. Royal Ave., beginning at 6:30 p.m. Attendance details are listed below.
Bair has an extensive background in banking and finance in a career that has taken her from Capitol Hill to academia and to the highest levels of government. She served as the 19th chair of the FDIC—an independent agency created by the Congress in 1933 to "maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system by insuring deposits, examining and supervising financial institutions for safety and soundness and consumer protection, and managing receiverships"—for a five-year term, from 2006-11.
Reviews of Bull by the Horns are enthusiastic:
Prior to her appointment as FDIC chair, Bair was the Dean's Professor of Financial Regulatory Policy for the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She also served as Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the U.S. Department of the Treasury (2001-02), Senior Vice President for Government Relations of the New York Stock Exchange (1995-2000), a Commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (1991-95), and Research Director, Deputy Counsel and Counsel to Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole (1981-88).
Bair received a number of prestigious honors during her tenure at the FDIC. In 2008 and 2009, Forbes named her as the second most powerful woman in the world, after Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel. In 2008, she topped The Wall Street Journal's annual "50 Women to Watch" list. A year later, she was named one of Time's "Time 100" most influential people; awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, and the Hubert H. Humphrey Civil Rights Award. 2011, subsequent to leaving office, Bair was named by The Washington Post and Harvard University as one of seven of America's Top Leaders.
Bair continues her work on financial policy issues as a senior advisor to the Pew Charitable Trusts and as chair of the Systemic Risk Council, a public interest group that monitors progress on the implementation of financial reforms in the U.S. She is a founding board member of the Volcker Alliance, serves on the prestigious International Advisory Council to the China Bank Regulatory Commission, and writes a regular column for Fortune on financial policy matters.
A Kansan by birth, Bair received a bachelor's degree from the University of Kansas in 1975 and a J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1978. She also holds honorary doctorates from Amherst College and Drexel University.
Tickets for the general public to attend Bair's talk are $15 each. Current UB students, as well as faculty and staff, may receive a complimentary ticket upon registration to the event.
Registration and other information about Bair's appearance at UB is available here.
The University of Baltimore is a member of the University System of Maryland and comprises the College of Public Affairs, the Merrick School of Business, the UB School of Law and the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences.

Will this 10% strength buff readjust the gemming suggestion of going straight secondary on some gems to going back to strength?
No. Strength's value did go up, but the increased amount of Strength thanks to this buff also makes secondary stats that much more valuable.
Posted 18 January 2014 - 09:14 PM
I was sticking to a balance build with priority on crit, then haste and mast in close values -with BT and PL- with no major problems about the gcd capping, besides large haste buff stacking -like lust and T16 2p-. But I ran a simulation comparative with a build Crit>mastery>haste build and it outperforms my current like about 7k dps in single target. Although, seeing logs, noted that lot of the best ranked unholy dks are using it, i was playing blood last tier so i'm not updated about what's better to unholy. What do you think of this build stacking crit and mastery to high levels and leaving haste at 5-6k?
Posted 07 February 2014 - 01:56 AM
I've looked this thread over pretty well and I can't find any specifics on the value of 4 piece tier bonus for unholy. I've been running four piece since early in this tier and have passed on serveral off pieces thinking that it would be a dps loss to drop set bonus. Heroic chest and glove tier have been easy for us to farm so my question is at what item lvl is it worth it to drop set bonus for increased item lvl, and what is the dps gain from 4 piece? And while we're at it does anyone have some input on when mastery catches up or gets closer to the value of crit? My dk is Hordpain on Illidan .

I found that 2-set bonus is ok, but not so for the 4-set bonus.

Just posted this on the Facebook page:
"Mets and Phillies for the next three games. Honestly, who cares at this point from both teams' perspective. The once electric rivalry is in hibernation thanks to suckiness and people getting old in Philly quickly."
It's pretty crazy to think about. I think back to 2007 and remember thinking these two teams were going to be at each others throats for the next ten years.
Man what an idiot. I was way off.
The Mets' issues have been well documented by yours truly. The lack of interest caused by the Mets' demise has taken away the pure joy I surely would have felt watching the Phillies age before my very eyes like some horrible science fiction movie.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Lots of plum and berry character, with hints of toasted oak and chocolate. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a long flavorful finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Napanook (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot) reveals a pungent, spicy, earthy, slightly herbal nose, and an exuberant mouthfeel with lots of plum, licorice, red and black currants and a hint of sweet cherries. The wine is slightly more in-your-face and aggressive than most..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2004 Ca' del Merlo is slightly less generous than the expressive 2003. Make no mistake: Quintarelli's trademark elegance is on full display. This vintage delivers more in the mouth with a fuller, more generous mouthfeel and more firmness on the finish. Crushed mineral and forest berry is backed..

Extremely disrespectful bouncers--treated like a criminal – I was only in the DNA Lounge for the about 30 minutes before I was rudely dragged out after having done nothing wrong.
I'm underage (20), prefer to dance sober, and I would NEVER disrespect a club's liquor license, so of course I didn't try to drink anything alcoholic. Later, however, I went up to the bartender and asked for some water so she gave me a cup. After my first sip a very hostile security guy comes up to me, grabs me, and demands to see my ID. I show him my ID and calmly explain that the cup I was holding contained water--the bartender even confirmed that it was only water.
The security guy refuses to listen to anything I'm saying (even though I'm completely calm and completely sober), he won't even smell the cup, and then he drags me roughly out of the club. I ask him if I could just talk to him for a second and he insists that we talk outside. As soon as we get outside he immediately throws my cup of water out and slams the door on me.
The bouncers are extremely disrespectful and did not even have the decency to even quickly smell my cup. I was a law-abiding, paying customer and they treated me like a criminal. I should have at least gotten a refund for the way I was treated. Nobody warned me that I might get thrown out for holding a cup of water.
At the DNA Lounge, the bouncers might just decide to exert unnecessary force and throw you out for invalid reasons, just to abuse their power. DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB--the bouncers are hostile, rude, and just plain mean.
Hot chicks – The first time I went here was on a friday, and tons of goth girls showed up. Wow! They were wearing little tiny leather and vinyl outfits, looked dirty (in a good way), and mean (in a good way). Now I usually go on the last thur. of every month when goth night is, but I havn't been too impressed. I think you should stick to Fridays at this place. It's a good solid crowd at Remedy filled with decent looking people. Get the drinks at the upstairs bar (in the back room). You get your money's worth.
I like the ambience and it plays good dance music. Give it a try!
Pop Roxx every 4th Saturday of the Month – I go to DNA almost every 4th Saturday. Diverse crowd, great music, plenty of room. I've had some of my best and worst experiences here. Sometimes the Dj's are incredible (if you have a chance to see DJ Mike Relm please do so) and sometimes they are god awful. Almost always the crowd is very cool and the dancing is great. I don;t bother drinking when I go, the drinks aren't that great and the bartenders are snooty, but if your looking for a good time sober style this is the place.
Quite a conundrum, this place. – I don't quite understand this place. The dance club was great, I danced my toushie off and it was a blast. But, I don't quite understand why they had so many bars!!! I mean, one or two, ok, but they had like 15 bars in this place, and everyone was sloshed! Whenever I was dancing there were like nine people around me just struggling to stand up (and dancing at the same time...you get the idea). So, I basically felt like I lost my 15 dollars!
Rude bouncers – The lay out of the club was cool, very large. If your in to raver music this is your club. On the night we went the bouncers were rude, bartenders stuck up, and you got an over all unfriendly vibe from the crowd. Maybe its the area, I'd personally never go back.
An after-hours SoMa club with industrial-chic decor and high-tech undertones. – The Scene
Complimentary Internet kiosks are peppered throughout this two-tiered space, but the main attraction is a central dance floor. Sandwiched between an elevated stage and back bar, the roomy floor gets bathed in lights and packed with an ever-changing crowd--dictated by the night's entertainment, which can range from world-famous DJs to Incredibly Strange Wrestling. Stairs on either side of the stage wind toward the upper level, with ceilings featuring exposed pipes and heating ducts. During popular events, the upstairs back area opens up, providing an additional bar and vinyl-booth seating.
The Draw
A mammoth sound system and excellent sight lines separate DNA from lesser clones. The second floor is surrounded by guardrails and provides some of the best views of the stage. The place often stays open till the wee hours of the morning, and bar service is surprisingly efficient for a spot that can accommodate approximately 600 clubbers.
Nice!!! – This place gets a real nice mixed crowd! 3 bars Up stairs is hip-hop, but be prepared not to breath it's very hot & stuffy needs some fans or something!
down stair has such a great mix of music the dance floor is so big the stage is awesome you see people really show off there moves! with break beats, drum & bass they even have congos down there to throw in a salsa tempo!! they have enough bars to accomodate everyone. The club lets you go in & out which is great! They also have internet acces there for free! up stairs the ceiling is open so you can watch all the action down stairs!
This is about a friday! keep in mind this club is also where a lot of people like to have a X-periance
Not as good as they say. – This place is not as hot as the other ratings claim. Maybe it was because it was an Element Drink Club nite, but boy oh boy it was gross! The line was unnecessarily long, but I will agree the bouncers were very nice. It's not that large and all the Internet terminals were out of order. There were only two bars. The one on the second floor had like one slow bartender and was located in the middle of a walkway... bad idea! I think they only accept cash, too.
Did I pick a bad night? – Maybe I did pick a bad night. DNA has a monster reputation, an undeniably cool owner (Jamie Zawinski of Netscape fame), and an intimidating rating here on Citysearch. But...I can't really say I had fun there. When we arrived at around 10, the place was empty. We were happy we could go in and out, but when we came back, it was still far from full. The decor was, well, sparse, the dance floor was much too brightly lit, and the crowd was unusual...but not in a good way. The DJ was great and service at the bar wasfast, but that couldn't keep us there. Oh well. To my credit, it was a Saturday, but maybe just a poor production company...maybe we did pick a bad night!
More than just a lounge... – I can't really think of any cons for this place, except that I had to pay a $15 cover charge; otherwise, it was fine by me cuz they allow in&out's, so I can browse neighboring bars/lounges at the same time. The bouncers were really nice and not intimidating like most would be. Good bar service and I was surprised at how clean the restrooms were (compared to other clubs i've been to). The crowd is mainly 25-40's and I wouldn't go here if you just plan to sit around, because the only way to have fun here is to dance. If you do happen to be a wallflower dragged by your trendy friends, there are internet kiosks that you can peruse for free, although i don't understand why people would surf the net if they came to have fun at a club...?

Nominated for Best Animated Short Film, the debut from director John Kahrs mixes computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques in the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City who meets a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Expecting never to see her again, he's surprised when he spies her through the window, working in the office across the street. With nothing but a stack of paper at his disposal, he's determined to get her attention.
Charming and certainly lovingly put together, the short unspooled during the fall in front of "Wreck-It Ralph." But if you missed it and/or just want to see it again, watch below. [Collider]
El Hanso | January 30, 2013 3:30 PM
Well, if that film is not heavily inspired by Patrick Hughes' short "Signs" I don't know what is. It's boderline rip-off. This one's nevertheless nice and funny and well made, also it uses some magical elements, but still. It felt like a film I had already seen.
But good thing @Disney to release the film. Wish the other shorts would follow.

Picture yourself back in time 100 years ago when the automobile was taking hold as the new mode of transportation.
The first vehicles were very rudimentary compared to today's models. Pretty much open to the elements, no heating or air cooling systems, no suspension and top speeds in the 30 miles-per-hour range, still, the relatively affordable Model-T Ford and others to come along were something to be marveled at and desired. They gave the gutsy individual (for driving was truly an adventure back then) the freedom to drive where he wanted as long as there was a road, even if it was shared with wagons and horses.
Farmers were among the first to subsidize good roads, according to California Lincoln Highway Association historian Gary Kinst. And when the U.S. Post Office Department instituted free rural delivery in the early 1900s, there was additional impetus to construct and maintain roads. Still, by 1912, even with a reported 112,000 Model T's in use, just seven percent of the reported 12.5 million miles of road in the U.S. were considered safe to drive. At the time, safe roads were definedas those that were eithergraded to smooth out wagon ruts, and/or had been laid with compacted gravel.
Drivers could not rely on uniform road conditions or even a road from one town to another. But with their growing freedom and adventurous heritage, American drivers were not to be denied.
Turning Point
Roads of the day were a hit-and-miss affair. The first roads were usually the main streets of towns, shared bydrivers, horses, buggies, wagons, bicycles and pedestrians.
In 1912, Indianapolis Motor Speedway developer Carl G. Fisher, whose Presto-o-Lite Company manufactured headlamps for automobiles, saw an opportunity. Why not develop a coast-to-coast road that would link towns and communities and encourage commerce?
Henry Joy, who ran Packard Motor Company, got on board with the idea, and in 1913, they began promoting the "Lincoln Highway" (named after President Lincoln) as a means to not only help develop agricultural markets and commerce, but toalso encourage civic pride and cooperation. Townspeople could boast of havinga highway go through their town.
It would also create growing "need" for a car for Americans.
In exchange for a community providing theequipment and labor to build or upgrade a stretch of highway, materials would be free, according Fisher's plan. The goal was to have the nation's first transcontinental road from New York City's Time Square to San Francisco's Lincoln Park completed in time for travel to the 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition in the city by the bay.
Fisher pegged the cost of the "Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway" at $10 million.
To spearhead the project, the Lincoln Highway Association was formed in 1913. The chosen route would cross 12 states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California and cover 3,423 miles. Some of its miles would trace established routes such as the Overland Trail and that of the Pony Express.
Kinst says Joy put up $150,000 and the president of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company contributed $300,000. The public was asked for $5 donations and businesses were urged to contribute one percent of their revenue.
Federal aid was first focused on improving roads served by the U.S. Post Office when free rural delivery was instituted. The Federal Road Act of 1916 committed $75 million to states who matched fundsfor improving rural post (mail routes in farming communities) roads rather than primary roads. It was pretty much left up to each state and local communities to determine how to pay for improving existing roads or construct new highway stretches.
The Lincoln Highway Association placed "consul" liaisons in towns along the designated highway route to promote the highway and represent it locally.
A year into the grand plan though, the association found it wasn't close to meeting its goals. So another promotion was devised.
Seedling Miles
"A Portland cement company donated the cement, a local gravel company donated the gravel, cities provided the labor," said Kinst. "They graded and they put the gravel down and they put the cement over that. These seedling miles were generally built outside the city limits, outside the improved areas. They were one mile long, 15-feet wide concrete, to give people an idea, if you spent the money, passed the bonds, this is what you could have all the way across the country. They were popular. People would just go out on weekend and just drive along the one-mile stretch of road, like an amusement park. "
Apparently seeing was believing.

"The idea [was] we need this, states got behind this, the local government got behind it, the cities wanted it because they wanted people to go through their town and spend money," Knist said.
The military helped too.
"In 1919,Lt. [Dwight] Eisenhower tested a military convoy across the U.S. They took what was essentially the Lincoln Highway. They destroyed every bridge with their heavy equipment," said Kinst.
The military demonstration showed it was important to have a good road system that could support use. The effect led to state and local bonds for road construction. The Federal Highway Act of 1921 earmarked another $75 million for road construction, but this time with the stipulation that states receiving funds earmark seven percent of the monies for "primary" roads such as the Lincoln Highway.
Lincoln Highway California route
There would be realignments over the years, but basically, the Lincoln Highway had several main routes in the Golden State.

"Lincoln Highway separated in western Nevada: one over Donner, one over Echo Summit (the Pioneer route) and rejoined in Sacramento," said Joel Windmiller, California Lincoln Highway Association vice president. "The original route went west to Stockton, Tracy, Livermore, to Oakland. Then in 1928, [it was] rerouted to after the Yolo Causeway was completed in '16 then the Carquinez Bridge was completed in '28. Basically, they had a shorter route to get to San Francisco."
Small stretches of the highway exist today. For example, off Old Bass Road in El Dorado County part of the old highway can be found. In Orangevale, the Gold Creek Bridge constructed in 1915, stands as testament as part of the Echo Summit to Sacramento route. A small section of old highway remains on Sisley Road in Penryn.
In 1928, the Boy Scouts of America erected concrete Lincoln Highway markers along the cross-country route. They served to identify the road (many stretches of the highway were known by other names in the areas it served). The markers were also a reminder of the country's first transcontinental road because in 1925, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a federal highway numbering system. In California, for example, Lincoln Highway became US 40.
Auburn Boulevard
There are several artifacts with connections to the Lincoln Highway on what is known today as Auburn Boulevard and its early years as Auburn Road. Theroad,now a frontage road along the south side of Interstate 80 northeast of Sacramento, was first a route for wagons moving freight from Sacramento to Gold Rush mining camps.
Where Auburn Boulevard intersects with Sylvan Corners in Citrus Heights, for example, a 1928 Lincoln Highway marker shows where Auburn Road jogged north and became what isRiverside Boulevard in Roseville.Citrus Heights historical records indicate that in the 1920s, at 7904 Auburn Blvd., the Cripple Creek gas station and auto camp were built to service travelers. The location is now a cleared lot. Also in the 1920s, the now-boarded 12-Mile House further south on Auburn was a tavern.
Let's go for a ride
For 20 years, the Lincoln Highway was a work in progress. It could be described as "challenging" for those who traveled it.
According to Windmiller, "You would have like a surface road within the town but you get a few miles out of town you were basically to gravel or dirt road that in that summertime was travelable but in the wintertime, you get your car stuck down to the framework in mud. Most of the time, you would have to get your new automobile towed out of mud by your former transportation, the horse.
"[The highway] started out dirt and gravel. They wanted it to have wide, concrete lanes, two beautiful concrete lanes, brick surface and everything but basically they couldn't get this done all at once. They did seedling miles. They just took the surface routes in town, improved on them basically."
Remember early automobiles did not have creature comforts standard on today's machines.

Motorists had other things to consider. Were there stores or stations to buy gas along the route? When night fell on the unlit road, would a kind farmerlet them camp on their property or stay in the barn?
In time, auto camps would spring up and motels would be built. About 35 miles was the most that could be covered in a day.
The highway, too, was not like today's multi-lane concrete freeways. The specifications of the highway were for 15-feet wide. Surfaces ranged from hard-packed dirt topped with oil and/or gravel, brick or concrete.
In Nevada, Kinst said motorists would lay down tarpaulins to drive over the sand.
""The toughest part was getting the route over the Sierra Nevada," said Windmiller. "You were going from Donner Lake up to the summit. There's one film of cars being basically tied to ropes to get over the Yuba River. The bridge washed out. You have this car, with all its belongings basically being hoisted over the river. I saw one where the driver is still in that thing and he's relying on a rope to get him to get him across a rope. It's white. It's rushing. It's just flowing and you know it's gotta be below freezing."
America's future doyenne of etiquette, Emily Post, was commissioned to write about her trip on the Lincoln Highway. She recounted her car getting stuck in mud in Indiana and her china breaking on the rough ride.
In 1919, Beatrice Massey sat in the passenger seat asher husband drove across the country on the Lincoln Highway. When they reached Salt Lake City, Utah, they detoured from rough Lincoln Highway around the south end of the Salt Lake Desert to an even more desolateroute around the north end ofSalt Lake.
The story goes that the Masseys had enough of the first roads andin Montello spent the large sum of$196.69 to put themselves and their car on a train to reach California.
Even so, Massey wrote in her Might Have Been Worse travelogue:
You will get tired, and your bones will cry aloud for a rest cure; but I promise you one thing-you will never be bored! No two days were the same, no two views were similar, no two cups of coffee tasted alike...My advice to timid motorists is, "Go."
"The things you read about the most were the number of tires they had to repair," Kinst said. "Just graded roads that were sharp rock, some people threw glass down onto the highway because they thought that would provide traction."
One wonders if Goodyear Tires, one of the earliest to get on board with the highway, saw the future?
Theautomobile's impact on American society is known. Roads like the Lincoln Highway were also integral to our tremendous mobility and more.
"It [the highway] brought commerce and it brought travelers," Kinst said. "The amounts of people traveling through their towns went from like 10 cars a week to a 100 cars a week just because the highway was there. It gave people a chance to get from point A to point B."
Those who've studied and traveled the Lincoln Highway believe it should be valued as part of history.
"[In] Rocklin, El Dorado, you can see the original 1919 concrete and see how narrow it was," Kinst says. "It's just like going to a national moment to be able to see it, to relive it. It's there and it's an experience. You got to live and see what people endured."
The California Lincoln Highway Association was recently informed a formerCal Trans workerwho lived in the foothills had, at one time, at least a few dozen of the 1928 concrete Lincoln Highway markers. The association has accounted for some of the markers but would love to hear from anyone else who knows the status of the rest. LHA, California Chaptercanbe contacted at P.O. Box 2554, Fair Oaks, CA 95628-2554 or online to one of its officers whose emails are listed on the chapter's The Traveler website.
